report from the Local Board Of

$50 persons on board, and that the Ex-
cursion Committee forced all the pas
scngers aft, in order to count them.
Ibis had the effect OF submerging the
air-ports abaft. causing the steamer to
fill with water and sink. 1t was shown
that the air-ports were open when they
should have been smut.

over the vessel, and that he (the mas
teri trusted to him to see that every
thing was all right.
The board reported thatit is the mas
ter's duty to see personally to the sea-
worthincss of his vessel before she
leaves her wharf, which in this case the
master failed to do, relying upon others
TO do what he should have done him
self but as no lives were lost by the
accident, and as there were mitigating
